Every year the NCAA Tournament selection committee has it’s decisions scrutinized and questioned. However, the draw they came up with for the 2014 installment of March Madness has proven to be more controversial than most. For starters, Louisville is a No. 4 seed—which means the committee thinks they’re no better than 13th in the nation—despite […]

Given the love the 2014 NCAA Tournament selection committee showed the A-10 this year, Saint Joseph’s probably would have made this year’s tourney even if they hadn’t beaten VCU in the finals of their conference tournament. The Hawks finished the regular season in fourth place in the conference, and the top six all made the […]

Dunks are are fun to watch. Anybody who’s ever seen LeBron James show off at practice knows that. However, in it’s simplest, most basic form, a dunk is just a person dropping a ball through a hoop. Anybody who’s seven feet tall can do it, and you see about 10 to 20 dunks every time […]

In college basketball, it’s the flashy guys who play just one or two years at big-name programs that get all the hype. We tend to write off guys who play four years of college ball, the logic being, “if they’re so great, why are they still here?” However, that logic is pretty faulty. Not everyone […]

The Colby College Mules men’s basketball team finished a lowly 8th in the Division III New England Small College Athletic Conference. And as you could probably guess, that was not good enough to qualify for the D-III tournament. However, what the Mules lack in actual basketball talent, they make up for in awesome choreographed bench […]

Nebraska guard Mike Peltz is not exactly the star of the team. As a senior this year he averaged 4.9 minutes and 0.1 points per game. In fact, he only attempted four field goals all year—none of them from beyond the arc—and made zero. The one lousy point he scored all year was a free-throw. […]

Last week, Utah Valley students stormed the court and ended up fighting New Mexico State basketball players. It was all very unfortunate, for sure, but also a bit of a fluke. It’s pretty common for students to run onto the court after a big win, and if a New Mexico State player hadn’t lashed out […]

When a fire fighter goes to speak to a bunch of grade schoolers, he always brings his coat and hat so he looks the part. Same thing when Jack Hannah goes on the Late Show or the Tonight Show—he always wears his zookeeper outfit, just so everyone watching at home knows he’s legit. San Francisco […]

It has not been the best year for Kentucky Wildcats fans. After starting the year ranked #1 in the nation, their eight losses—including two in a row heading into last night’s game against Alabama—have now pushed them all the way down to #25. And that’s simply an indignity to which KU loyalists are not accustomed. […]

Going undefeated for an entire season doesn’t necessarily earn a team a spot amongst the greatest of all-time. However, it certainly doesn’t hurt, does it? So today we’re going to rank the greatest undefeated teams of all-time. Before we get started, though, a few quick notes… First off, we’re not just talking regular season only, but […]

Fights between athletes in the middle of a game are fairly common, as are fights up in the stands between fans. However, you rarely see players fighting fans. Unfortunately, last night’s college basketball game between New Mexico State and Utah Valley was a rare exception. After the Aggies lost on the road to the upstart […]

The Talladega College men’s basketball team is not an NCAA Division I program. In fact, it’s not even a Division II or Division III program, because it’s not actually in the NCAA. The Talladega Tornados play in the NAIA’s Division II, which puts them pretty much at the very bottom of the college basketball totem […]

We all know elite athletes are superstitious creatures of habit. Eat the same thing on game day, don’t wash your lucky shorts—stuff like that. But Kansas State basketball player Wesley Iwundu took things to a whole new level last night against Texas Tech. Iwundu was awarded a technical foul shot during the Wildcats’ 60-56 win over […]

Last year it seemed like the number one college basketball team in the country was losing every single week because, well, for a stretch the number one college basketball team in the country was losing every single week. This year, however, we’ve had more stability. From week 6 to week 13, Arizona and Syracuse, both […]

Last year, Marcus Smart was the talk of college basketball. The Oklahoma State point guard was considered one of the best freshman in the country early in the season, but by the time the NCAA Tournament rolled around people were saying he might be the best player period—and that was just because of his abilities on […]
